The splines on the inside end of the driver have to have SOME play or it would consume itself. The 1/16 is maybe a lot or a little I do not know. I do know that it does have SOME play but my gut says that 1/16 is a probably on teh high side. To do a 'complete' job on the flange, I would replace the shaft seal, the gasket (cover to case), and the outer bearing as well. It is not too expensive. If the inner driver shows evidence of wear, you may want to do this at the same time, but it it pretty expensive. To do this, you remove the drive shaft, unbolt the cover and remove the side plate assy (taking care to keep track of any shims, IIRC). Once off, you remove a circlip and tap out the inner driver. At this point, you replace the shaft seal and outer bearing if you want. The cover gasket does have an effect on diff support bearing preload and I would recommend replacing it at the same time with a premade gasket (to get the correct thickness).
